Mezco has a pair of DC Universe Mez-Itz exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con – a Man of Steel 3-pack featuring Jor-El, Superman, and Zod; and a keychain featuring the irrepressible Harley Quinn. Both exclusives are of the mini Mez-Itz variety, meaning they are about 2-inches tall.

Entertainment Earth is hosting a great opening act for the big show – they’ve got a Buy One Get One Half Off sale on San Diego Comic-Con exclusives. The catch? It’s for the exclusives from past years. What, you didn’t expect them to put this year’s exclusives on sale before the show, did you?
There’s nearly 60 items on sale, from toy makers like Funko, Diamond Select Toys, Bif Bang Pow!, Underground Toys, Diamond Select Toys, and even Mattel (who hasn’t sold exclusives through Entertainment Earth, as far as I can recall.)

These DC Universe Classics 2-Packs were originally retailer exclusives, but priced like this are like getting two figures for the price of one. Great fodder to build out your Green Lantern / Rainbow Lantern Corps or just for blank base bodies. And while Batman and Azrael might be a bit more specific, at the price, you might want to get the two-pack just for the redeco of Azrael. All these are Amazon Prime eligible.
I Am Your Fodder highlights action figures that are cheap and would make interesting customizing fodder.
Mattel has posted some more details about their upcoming Flying Stands 2.0, which will be available during MattyCollector’s June sale. Like their original flight stands, they’ll come with 3 different sizes of clips, to accommodate Masters of the Universe Classics, DC Universe Classics, Ghostbusters, and more.
The new flight stands have a couple of upgrades – in addition to a hinge in the arm (akin to what was there in the first version), the clip itself will swivel, and the arm can be telescoped to allow for different heights. There will also be peg holes where you can attach the clips that aren’t in use. While it may seem ungainly, I know with the original flight stands, the extra clips are in some drawer somewhere and will probably never resurface.
One other difference – the new price is $15, compared to $12 for the old ones. Not clear at this point is how many stands will come with a single order. It used to be three. That will make a big difference with the value of the new stands. What are your thoughts?
